After the CPAC straw poll, it will be hard to anyone to say Rudy can't get the nomination. He just about won the straw poll made up of well-informed, hard-core conservatives. And of course he will clean up among the moderate Republicans and independents (in states that allow them to vote in Republican primaries). The one thing that could derail Rudy would be if conservatives were pretty much unanimous in opposing him. But the CPAC poll shows that is far from the case.
